Tears in my eyes….I heard one such ncident where Mahaperiyava asked a devotee to chant vishnusahasranamam and how that chained hm and all around him…..not sure if these are the same…..the important thing to note is the bakthi of your grandfather and e trust and complete faith in mahaswami’s words and taking it as vedavakku….for me, that is what seems to be missing…..I think I have a long way to go…..heart-filling to read such great incidents…..
